Alright so I'm just really not feeling any of these characters or the story. The gameplay is actually really well-designed. The game encourages (or maybe mandates) you to use everyone in your party, which is facilitated by the fact that switching members mid-battle doesn't waste a turn. The sphere grid system is fun, intuitive, and flexible. The only issue with the gameplay is the linearity, but I've read that this goes away. From a purely gameplay perspective, I'm having a total blast with it.
But how much can that help when I just don't like any of these people or the story? Like Auron was cool, but now even he's frustrating me with his vagueness and ambiguity. Maybe he has his reasons for being this way and for not telling everyone else pretty crucial information? And I realize now that I only liked Lulu because she sh
its on the other characters. I also have a lower opinion of Wakka now thanks to his blatant racism, but I know that'll change. I also forgot to talk about Khimari in my last post about this game because I literally forgot he existed.
It's just unfortunate, because I really want to get into it, but none of the characters/story have grabbed me. Nonetheless, I will stick to it as best I can.
